Moreover, it was watered with spiritual rain. If she doesn't increase the yield, wouldn't her spiritual rain talisman be a waste of money?

"That's not right, how come the output is so low!" She muttered to herself in a low voice, but the people on and off the stage, especially those in the front, heard her.

"Gah!" The person who was laughing loudly was choked by her words and let out a duck-like quack.

Three catties and two ounces is too little? One mu can plant at least two thousand plants, so even if the yield per mu is discounted, it is still nearly fifty shi!

The Junior Tutor still thinks it's not enough; he truly is a deity who doesn't understand mortal affairs.

Before anyone could react, Yue Fuguang raised his entrenching tool and started digging into the ground, digging out…

Huh? Sure enough, she dug out three potatoes—two large and one small—from the ground and placed them on the scale, indicating to Wang Shouchun to continue weighing them.

With trembling hands, Wang Shoushen mechanically lifted the scale. Because of his shaking hands, he couldn't find the right sight several times. Zhang Zhongping had to step in again, and the two of them worked together to finally get it right.

Emperor Mingxi leaned over to check the weight, and then shouted in a slightly off-key voice, "Four catties and three taels!"

"Four pounds and three ounces!"

"Four pounds and three ounces!"

Four pounds and three ounces! It has been passed down thousands of times, from mouth to mouth, all the way to the outskirts of the city, and it has never been wrong, which is a miracle.

Upon hearing this weight, Yue Fuguang saw the scene transmitted by the system: hundreds of thousands of people were kneeling on the ground, thanking heaven for sending down life-saving grain.

At this moment, the system's displeased voice reached everyone's ears: "Master, these people are blind. They are clearly the offspring you bestowed upon them, yet they only remember to thank the heavens."

Does he deserve it? I'll go after him and settle the score! I'll beat his soul out of him!

Gaa!

Some people were so startled that they hiccuped. After a moment of surprise, Wang Shouchun, Zhang Zhongping, and the others bowed to the moonlight from the bottom of their hearts.

"Thank you, Junior Tutor, for finding such excellent seeds for the people of Dayan!"

"Thank you, Junior Tutor, for finding such excellent seeds for the people of Dayan!"

………

"Thank you, Junior Tutor, for personally planting these superior seeds for the Great Yan!"

Well, the previous ones paid attention to the formation and found this word quite appropriate. As for 'planting by hand', let's not mention that!

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhang, please rise quickly, and all other officials, please rise as well!"

Grandpa Wang is over sixty years old, so it was a little uncomfortable for her to kneel before him, but as the 'Xianju' (a place name), she had to appear quite calm.

Especially noteworthy is that Yu Chongshan and his son are kneeling below, and further away in the pavilion, the women of the Yu family, led by Madam Yu, are accompanying the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

It seems they also wanted to stand up and kneel, and the other high-ranking officials' families did the same thing. Regardless of anything else, they just followed their master's lead.

Of course, not everyone knelt down. A small number of people, unaware of what was happening, stared at their kneeling colleagues, and one of them chuckled softly, "Lord Zhao, you're just following the crowd again!"

Zhao Shen didn't even glance at this fool. Didn't he see that all the first, second, and third-rank officials in front of him were kneeling? Why should he, a mere fifth-rank official, act so high and mighty? Just because he has a low rank, isn't he afraid of being punished?

One cannot discuss ice with a summer insect; following the crowd is the key to survival in the imperial court.

This survival gadget has saved him many times, so he definitely didn't choose the wrong team this time!

Besides, the young master deserves their thanks.

As everyone rose, Emperor Mingxi and his son, the Crown Prince, bowed deeply to Yue Fuguang, saying, "On behalf of the countless people of Dayan, I thank Fuguang for saving our lives!"

"Thank you, Junior Tutor, for saving my life!" Xie Zhiyan bowed deeply, even more respectfully than Bao Zihui when he toasted at his wedding.

She's definitely a trained fighter; her body is so flexible. She couldn't have done this move in her past life.

Even at this point, this is the first thing that comes to Yue Fuguang's mind. You could say she's quite envious!

Those who had previously scoffed at Zhao Shen were dumbfounded when they saw what the Emperor and the Crown Prince were doing!

Their Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince treated Yue Shaoshi with such courtesy, showing that they did not diminish her contribution to the potato project in the slightest.

So what they just did...

Why do my legs suddenly feel a little sore and I really want to kneel down?

With that beginning, there's not much more to say. The Ministry of Rites had originally invited local gentry and experienced farmers from villages and towns near the capital to both witness the process and have them dig potatoes themselves, so that they could promote the potatoes in advance.

Unexpectedly, they wouldn't even have a chance to get a turn.

After the Junior Tutor and His Majesty worked together to dig up a vat of potatoes, the adults standing below swarmed over.

We request Your Majesty to allow them to participate in this potato-digging work, which is beneficial to both their physical and mental health.

Of course, the senior officials led by Wang Shoushen and the young and middle-aged officials such as Wei Ping spoke very subtly, and the above was automatically interpreted by Yue Fuguang.

Zhang Zhongping closed his eyes. Chaos, complete chaos! How could he proceed with the next steps?

He glanced at Wang Shouchun, who had already started digging in the soil with his hands, and for some reason, his own hands began to itch to do the same.

Moonlight caught a glimpse of Zhang Zhongping, who had been hesitant just a second ago, but in the next second, he used his agile movements and slender body to quickly squeeze in front of a large vat.

She almost lost her composure; Minister Zhang was truly putting the phrase "if you can't beat them, join them" into practice.

One second he looked bitter and resentful, the next he transformed into a groundhog, dug out an extra-large potato, and laughed like a fool.

The Left Vice Minister of Rites, seeing the Minister laughing so hard he was dumbfounded, silently took over the rest of the procedures.

He swallowed hard, staring at the nearly empty potato jar, and told himself, 'I'm carrying the banner for the Ministry of Rites; today's ceremony can't do without me!'

Emperor Mingxi watched as the humps buzzed around the seven large vats, arguing about who would dig first and whose potato was bigger.

He silently turned his back, not seeing Cai Xian, who was almost half-submerged in the vat.

I didn't see Wei Shouyi covered in dirt, I didn't see Ling Yinghua with one shoe crushed off, I didn't see...

His ministers were all elegant and courteous pillars of society!

Wu Yong and other low-ranking young officials stared blankly at the bigwigs arguing on the jade steps.

The intensity of this confrontation surpassed even that of the court proceedings, suggesting that the officials held back during their verbal sparring sessions.

With the enthusiastic help of the adults, the eight basins of potatoes were successfully harvested, yielding a total of 36.8 jin (approximately 18.4 catties).

As soon as the news spread, the crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted like a pot of boiling water. The weeping of the onlookers really resembled a large funeral procession!

After a fruitless attempt to complete the remaining procedures, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was closely following him, joined the celebrating crowd—both crying and laughing!

【Master, is it really necessary for them to go to such lengths just to dig up a few dozen pounds of potatoes?】

"I don't know! Little Bead, there's a saying among mortals: even if you don't understand, you should still respect it!"

Okay, potatoes do have many advantages. The claim that they don't store well is due to incorrect storage methods. Like sweet potatoes, they can be dried into potato slices or made into potato flour, which can then be stored for a long time.

It's both a vegetable and a staple food. By the way, master, there should be four bowls of this for you, right? How do you plan to eat them?
